Here's some great images of C/2011 L4 PanSTARRS from readers Chris Wyatt and Cynthia Ma. Chris's image is taken on his Canon S2 IS at about 9pm set at 400 ASA, 3.2 secs at F3.5 with
about 6 times magnification. The tail detail is nice. Cynthia's is her first shot of this comet, and has a nice composition.
